Junior Preview
The team from Barranquilla had a difficult start in this league season. However, the hard work of Julio Comesaña, a coach with a great and glorious history in the club, has been effective. In their most recent match against Atlético Bucaramanga, “los currambas” won 1-0 as visitors. Luis Daniel González was in charge of scoring for Junior in the 61st minute.
With its most recent victory, the shark is in ninth place with 24 points, the result of 7 wins, 3 ties and 6 losses. In addition, they have not lost in the last three games, a streak that they hope to extend in this coastal derby; Junior vs Unión Magdalena.
Possible lineup (4-4-2): Sebastián Viera; Walmer Pacheco, Daniel Rosero, José Ortiz, Edwin Velasco; Didier Moreno, Yeison Gordillo, Fabián Sambueza, Luis González in the middle; Edwin Cetré, Carmelo Valencia.
Unión Magdalena Preview
The Samario team has had a season with many ups and downs; although at the beginning everything was looking good and the team was making noise as one of the great candidates to qualify soon, in the most recent disputes everything has fallen apart.
The team coached by David Ferreira was unable to win in their last four games. This match between Junior and Union Magdalena is a priceless opportunity and a test for tUnion Magdalena to show why they should be in the playoffs.
Union currently occupies the 11th position in this BetPlay II League, a place it reached with 7 wins, 3 draws and 6 defeats. In the last league match against Independiente Medellín, the Union lost 2-0 with goals from Victor Moreno and Andrés Ricaurte.
Possible lineup (5-3-2): Carlos Bejarano; Jermein Peña, Ronaldo Lora, Jairo Palomino, Nicolás Gil, Brayan Correa; Diego Chávez, Agostino Spina, Fabián Cantillo; and Roberto Hinojosa, Ricardo Márquez.
JefeBet Prediction
For this exciting classic of the Colombian Atlantic coast, Junior vs Union Magdalena, we believe that Julio Comesaña’s team will be the one to win.
Their most recent performances, good run of form and spirit with this D.T. make them favorites to take the three points. However, it would not be unusual for Union to surprise, as they also have a high level of talent and players who can make a difference, such as Roberto Hinojosa and Ricardo Márquez.
Prediction: Junior wins 2-1.
